There were many posts from people saying they drafted Ford to avoid paying Houston, which of course, were as nonsensical as those saying the Chiefs would allow Houston to "walk".
Ford was drafted because he was the best available athlete when they Chiefs selected. Pass rushers are at a premium and there was absolutely no guarantee that a guy with his pedigree would be there for the Chiefs in 2015.
Personally, I'm glad they're easing Ford into his role. He has some great mentors and I'm sure he'll be fine. He may not be the franchise sack leader when his career is finished but Houston & Ford on the edge should give offensive coordinators plenty of concern for the next several years.
